Hello,

I recently purchased this Caterpillar t80c LBS 12,000 forklift that start but won't move the previous owner told me it was a broken u-joint and gave me the broken pieces off of it with it.
Only one of the tires is locked up, today when i jacked up both tires spin with no issues, but when I go under it the u joint that goes onto the front differential won't turn at all but the one on the transmission turns.

I am thinking there is an issue with the front differential.

Anythoughts or suggestions are very welcomed. Thank you!!

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
